Mayor Garden is a private garden belonging to the late French fashion master Yves Saint Laurent. Yves Saint Laurent loved Marrakech all his life and regarded it as a peaceful spiritual home for him.

The middle and small roads in the garden turn around and the trees and flowers complement each other.

Mayor’s garden is famous not only because of the colorfulness of the garden itself, but also because the owner of the garden is famous in the world. This garden belonged to two owners before and after. The first owner, the illustrator Mayor, spent his life designing and constructing it, making it one of the most mysterious gardens in the 20th century. The second owner of

is Yves Saint Laurent, who made this garden more famous in the world. In 1980, he accidentally discovered the Mayor Garden in Marrakech, immediately fell in love with it madly, and bought it with his partner Pierre Berger. They went to great lengths to restore the garden and built a museum of Islamic culture in it. As soon as

enters the door, you will see a blue fountain and pool in the center of the courtyard.

Colorful Arabic clay pots accompany visitors to various places.

Walking into the garden, what you see is the pavilion in the dense bamboo forest. If it weren't for the colorful colors, it would be as if you were not in a North African garden, but an Oriental garden.

Mayor Garden is suitable for visiting in spring. Wisteria, spider plants, and lilies bloom in the garden and the scenery is pleasant.

The pool in the center of the garden is full of life

In an African garden, it may not be uncommon to see several species of cacti, but it is also in this African garden that there are wet bamboos, water lilies in the pond, and blooming corners. Bougainvillea....... Anyway, I don’t think there are any women who don’t love this garden!

This small villa painted in charm blue was left behind by the first owner, Mayor. This blue is also liked by people because of its coolness and brightness. This blue is named Mayor blue. This is actually a kind of blue that is unique to Africa. I have visited the blue towns of Chefchaouen and Rabat during this trip. I discovered that this nation has taken blue to the extreme.

, as the charm of the entire garden, is the most eye-catching. This small building converted into a museum is simply a perfect combination of color, architecture and nature.

Classic orange, bright yellow, jumping blue, an old brain squeezed into my field of vision.

There are verdant tropical plants everywhere in the garden, and the cacti and palm trees that stretch towards the sky are full of vigor.

It is said that there are more than one hundred different cacti here. This is the collection collected by the first-generation garden owner Mayor from all over the world. These cactuses seem to remind people that this is the small world that the garden owner has devoted himself to maintaining. Watching them thrive, watching them bloom small flowers, people's moods also calm down.

Nowadays, it may be difficult for people to remember Mayor’s works, but many people come to visit this garden. In a sense, this may be regarded as his most proud and most popular work.

There is a quiet path in the garden, and there is a road sign beside it, simply writing Yves Saint Laurent's name. It was after his death in 2008, according to his wish, Berger scattered his ashes in the gardenin.
